Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

We talked for a full two hours.

"Then it's settled. We'll have a lawyer draft a contract, and once it's signed, we'll start work," Su Mingyang said.

"Great!" Guan Gu Shenqi couldn't have been happier.

Just at this time.

Tang Youyou pushed open the door and walked in. She was holding a towel to her forehead and asked weakly, "Guan Gu Mingyang, can you help me check if I have a fever?"

Guan Gu Shenqi composed himself, nervously touched Tang Youyou's forehead, then touched his own, and frowned, saying, "No!"

Tang Youyou rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe I'll get diarrhea in a bit."

Su Mingyang looked at Tang Youyou with suspicion, wondering what he was up to.

Guan Gu Shenqi asked doubtfully, "Yes, it's delicate, rosy, and glossy; it doesn't look like it has a fever!"

Upon hearing Guan Gu Shenqi praise her, Tang Youyou exclaimed with delight, "Really?"

After saying that, she immediately came to her senses, clutched her stomach, and said with a pained expression, "However, I think I have internal injuries."

Su Mingyang finally figured it out and was speechless: "Youyou, are you faking illness?"

Tang Youyou blushed when her little trick was seen through: "Oh dear, what else could I do but pretend? I walked barefoot all day, drank three kilograms of tap water, and ate Zhang Wei's treasured expired chocolate, but nothing happened to me."

"What?" Guan Gu Shenqi couldn't believe it: "Why would you make yourself sick?"

Tang Youyou replied with distress, "This is the only way I can think of to survive Saturday."

Su Mingyang reminded him, "But if you get sick, you'll miss all three performances."

"It really is!" Tang Youyou suddenly realized and threw the towel away.

I'm so confused.

Su Mingyang shook his head helplessly.

Guan Gu Shenqi muttered to himself, "That's right, as the saying goes, 'Heaven bestows great responsibilities upon poets, but first it tests their meager strength...'"

Tang Youyou interrupted, "It's this person, not a piece of shit."

Guan Gu Shenqi said, "What I mean is, being busy makes you seem more important!"

Tang Youyou exclaimed in despair, "If being a substitute is this much trouble, what would happen if I were the main character?"

Guan Gu Shenqi said, "Actually, many things are dual-threaded now. Computers are dual-core, and mobile phones are dual-SIM dual-standby. Take me for example, I can draw and steal vegetables at the same time!"

"The vegetables you stole weren't mine, were they?" Tang Youyou's eyes widened.

Su Mingyang reached up and rubbed his forehead: "What time is it, Youyou, and you're still thinking about this?"

"Yes." Guan Gu Shenqi nodded, swallowing hard. "That's not the point."

"Okay." Tang Youyou understood that now was not the time to dwell on this, and asked, "You mean I can also be dual-core?"

Guan Gu Shenqi explained, "I think this stage play performance is a very important opportunity for you. Many football stars are like this. They become famous because the main players are injured and they come on as substitutes."

Tang Youyou said with a troubled expression, "But I ran into the penalty area, and suddenly three balls were passed to me. What should I do?"

“Normally, they would just pick one and kick them out,” Su Mingyang said.

Tang Youyou looked at Su Mingyang with a distressed expression: "But I don't know which one to kick."

Guan Gu Shenqi thought for a moment and asked, "Youyou, are these three performances at the same time?"

Tang Youyou replied, "No, that's not true. One show starts quite early, and for the other show, I have to wait until the second act to go on stage."

“Okay, then we’ll do those two shows. And for the last one…” Guan Gu Shenqi thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s talk to the female lead and have her play your substitute.”

"Good idea." Tang Youyou agreed, then frowned again: "But I'm here to replace her!"

Guan Gu Shenqi said, "In critical moments, we should not distinguish between each other. That's what a harmonious society is all about!"

Su Mingyang nodded and said, "Although Guan Gu's words were not very clear, his suggestion was still good."

Tang Youyou said helplessly, "Alright, that's the only way."

Chapter 385

7 pm.

Lin Wanyu and her parents finally returned.

The three of them were in good spirits, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Su Mingyang come out of the study, Lin Wanyu pounced on him and asked with a smile, "Haven't seen you all day, did you miss me?"

"No." Su Mingyang shook his head with a smile.

"Ok?"

This answer.

Lin Wanyu immediately bared her teeth, glaring at him fiercely like a little tiger.

Su Mingyang was both amused and exasperated, and quickly replied, "Yeah, right."

Lin Wanyu then regained her smile.

Wanyu's parents were delighted to see the two of them playing around like this.

"You silly child, you were just saying your feet hurt from shopping at the mall, and now you're all so lively as soon as you get back," Wanyu's mother said with a smile.

Lin Wanyu blinked: "Hehe, that's because I saw Mingyang."

Lin Yaoguo was puzzled: "Why does the pain stop when I see Mingyang? What's the logic behind that?"

“That’s because he gives me a massage.” Lin Wanyu said, a blush rising on her face as if she had thought of something.

To avoid being seen by her parents, she buried her face in Su Mingyang's arms.

"Haha, I see."

Lin Yaoguo thought that the massage Lin Wanyu mentioned was just a simple foot massage, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Mm." Lin Wanyu nodded, got off Su Mingyang, and pulled him to sit on the sofa. "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Have you eaten? Where did you go with your uncle and aunt today?"

"Wanhua Shopping Mall is the largest shopping mall in Shanghai." Lin Wanyu said, gesturing a large circle with her hand. "There were so many people. I walked around for a long time, and my feet are killing me."

"Haha, who told you not to find a place to sit down?" Su Mingyang joked.

"I sat for a while, but it still hurts." Lin Wanyu pouted. "By the way, we also found a shop that was still empty there."

"It must be very difficult to rent a shop in a shopping mall, right?" Su Mingyang asked.

"It's not that difficult. If you have money, it's not a problem." Lin Yaoguo interjected, "The shop that Wanyu mentioned is on the fourth floor of the mall, next to the cinema. It's about 100 square meters. It should be a good place to open a coffee shop."

"If that's what you say, Uncle, I think it's acceptable." Su Mingyang thought it was alright.

"Okay, I've already arranged a time. Next Tuesday, you and Wanyu can go to the mall's leasing department and talk to the manager." Lin Yaoguo said, handing a slip of paper to Su Mingyang.

Su Mingyang took it and saw that it contained the phone number and name of the investment promotion manager. He immediately put it away and said, "Okay, I'll go with Wanyu. Thank you, father-in-law."

"We're all family, don't talk about trouble," Lin Yaoguo said with a smile.

After spending these past few days together, he has already come to regard Su Mingyang as his future son-in-law.

“Uncle is right.” Su Mingyang smiled.

At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Tang Youyou walked in from outside and frowned as she saw the middle-aged couple sitting on the sofa.

She instantly realized that they were Lin Wanyu's parents.

He suddenly felt a little nervous, but managed a smile and said, "Wanyu, you're back. These two must be your parents."

"It's Youyou." Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she happily pulled him in, introducing them to each other:

"Yes, these two are my daddy and mommy."

"This beautiful woman is my good friend, her name is Tang Youyou, and she lives next door."

"Hello, uncles and aunts." Tang Youyou greeted them politely.

"Hello, Xiao Tang."

"Hello, Xiao Tang," Wan Yu's mother greeted warmly. "You've come to chat with Wan Yu, haven't you?"

"Yes, Wanyu and I are best friends. I heard that your parents were coming, but I never had time to visit. I finally met them today." Tang Youyou said, while subtly observing Lin Wanyu's parents.

I found them to be quite approachable, without any airs of being wealthy.

My mindset has become much more relaxed.

“Logically speaking, you are Wanyu’s friends, and you have taken care of Wanyu in some way. We should be the ones thanking you,” Wanyu’s mother said.

"You're too kind, Auntie." Tang Youyou smiled wryly. "Actually, it should be Wanyu who takes care of me more. Whenever I wanted to go somewhere before, Wanyu would accompany me if she had time. I've been busy filming these past few days, so I haven't been able to come over to visit."

"Filming?" Lin Yaoguo asked with interest. "Xiao Tang, you're an actor?"

"A minor actress, the kind that's barely known," Tang Youyou said, blushing.

"Little Tang, you're too modest. Looking at your face, you're sure to become a star on screen in the future," Wanyu's mother said with a smile.
